Villa fans react to Sheff Utd win
Aston Villa fans agree on last night’s 1-0 loss to Sheffield United.
Dean Smith’s team posted two wins on two to kick off their 2020-21 campaign and opened their Premier League season with a win at Villa Park.
Villa edged United thanks to Ezri Konsa’s header in the second half, but a determined United team that had been left with ten men from the 12th minute when John Egan was sent off for a foul on Ollie Watkins when he was out through the goal.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, Arsenal’s summer signing, became a hero when he saved a John Lundstram penalty in the first half before Konsa’s goal.

However, Martinez dived correctly to his right to save Lundstram’s penalty, becoming a hero on his debut.
The former Arsenal stopper came down well to land a strong hand on the penalty, but eagle-eyed United fans think the penalty should have been re-executed because Martinez was out of line.

Villa, Leicester and Arsenal have all been credited with an interest in the free scorer forward, but according to Lennon none have made their interest official.
